There’s no doubt about it: Clothes can impact your mood and make you feel ready for the day ahead, so it’s unsurprising many of us wear clothes that make us feel happy.
The one uplifting styling trick I keep seeing people turn to at the moment is experimenting with playful colour combinations. Zeena Shah, art director and creator of #instarainbowchallenge (in which people wear jolly, vibrant outfits) is an expert in how to wear joyful shades. Color can, however, be intimidating to many, so to give you some ideas for how to wear bolder shades, here are some of our favorite vibrant outfits we’ve spotted over the past few months.
